ValueCart.in, founded by alumni from IIM Calcutta, Harvard and Columbia, was started back in April, 2015 with the goal of becoming the true bearers of ‘Value’ in every sense of the word, be it value for money or the experience. With online shopping gaining a foothold in India, it was easy, but then it was also challenging with online stores sprouting up like mushrooms in monsoon.
